6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
Healing Power of Nature: Belief in the body’s unique ability to heal itself.
Do No Harm: Use of low force modalities that produce the largest changes with the least force or intervention necessary to both diagnose illness and restore wellness.
Prevention: Preventing disease through lifestyle and nutrition and using naturopathic therapeutics to prevent minor illnesses from developing into more serious diseases.
Find the Cause: Find and treat the cause of illness instead of just treating symptoms, and avoiding the suppression of symptoms as this can cause the underlying disease process to progress.
Treat the Whole Person: We treat the whole body instead of isolated symptoms
Doctor as Teacher: Only when you understand your body and its health can you make informed choices about your healthcare. So much of what we do is about educating you on what is going on with your body and what your treatment options. We also see that for us to understand what we are recommending for you we also need to have a commitment to living as an example. In other words we practice what we preach

Ingredients
350 grams sugar
100 g of petals (pesticide-free)
1 lemon
15 grams pectin (agar-agar)
2 litres water
*2-3 cups strawberries/raspberries (optional)
Recipe
Cover rose petals with about 2 litres of water, bring to hard boil for around 10-15 minutes.
The water will turn brown. Add the lemon and it will burst back into a deep pink.
Drain to separate liquid from petals (if you prefer a petal-less jam, just reserve liquid, otherwise add a few cups of petals back into the rose water.
Whisk in sugar and pectin until dissolved. Boil for a good 40 minutes to an hour until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly.
Pour rose mixture into sterilised jars. Seal and place top-side-down in refrigerator to cool. Jam must cool entirely to set. If desired consistency is not achieved, simply open the jars, re-sterilize, and boil the liquid longer... it took me three times to get it right.
